Which is why I am concerned that Warner didn't go right ahead and release these to DVD already, BEFORE they were aired on TCM. I knew some viewers would grow weary of seeing many of these films on TV and then maybe not even want to pick up the movies on DVD!

Can anyone tell me if HARDBOILED MAHONEY was broadcast later than usual? A friend of mine has his VCR timer regularly set for 10:28 to about 11:45, and said his tape ran short because TCM might have started the movie later than usual. Could that be the case? I didn't bother to record this one because I've already got it on a pre-recorded VHS and it's not one of the better films.
